Welcome To Hellfire Events
At Hellfire Events, we craft experiences that ignite passion and foster community. Picture yourself at the Governor Backyard Ultra, the world's first backyard ultra within a prison, or at the Western Heights Trail Races, celebrating trail running and history at the UK's largest fortress.
From the thrilling Mighty Mile fun run to grueling tests of endurance, there's a challenge for every runner, all while embracing eco-friendly practices through the Green Runners initiative.
Beyond events, we're dedicated to supporting causes close to our hearts, partnering with charities to make a real impact in our community.

Do something amazing: join our volunteer team
Volunteering at running events can be a truly rewarding experience. Not only do you get to give back to your community, but you also get to be a part of an exciting and energising event. Whether you are helping with registration, handing out water at an aid station, or cheering on the runners, your contribution can make a huge difference in the success of the event.
Volunteering also provides a great opportunity to meet new people and make connections within the running community. You may even be inspired to take up running yourself!
We are also interested in speaking to anyone who could help with social media, photography, creative writing, marketing and first aid.
So if you are looking for a way to give back and be a part of something special, consider volunteering at one of our events. Your time and effort will be greatly appreciated and you may just find that you get as much out of it as the runners do!
All volunteers will also receive free transferable entry to a future Hellfire running event.
